Board Decisions

GF/B31/EDP05

Approves additional funding for the next implementation period for the grants listed in Table 1 in the amounts indicated for each grant, based on the understanding that the amounts approved are upper ceilings rather than final funding amounts for that period and that on-going implementation arrangements for each grant shall be pursued by the Secretariat consistent with the principles of the recommendations set forth in the related documentation submitted to the Board and in accordance with Global Fund policies. Approval is also subject to the availability of funding and to the provision that funding for renewals of existing grants shall be committed in annual tranches (GF/B25/DP16, paragraph 7 of Annex 1).

Reaffirms that the maximum funding amount available for the next implementation period of each grant shall be the sum of the amount set out in Table 1 below for each listed grant and the amount of any funds approved for the prior implementation period which have not been utilized during that period, either as undisbursed funds or cash balances held by recipients under the grant.

See attached table detailing total recommended funding amount of US$ US$ 309,646,766 for the following grants: ETH-T-FMOH for Ethiopia, KEN-H-KRC and KEN-H-MOF for Kenya, MOR-011-G04-H and MOR-011-G05-T for Morocco, UGD-T-MoFPED for Uganda.

NOTES:

Discrepancies between the CCM Request figures and the Program Scorecard result from the clarifications process with the CCM after the Request for Renewal was submitted and/or from corrections and adjustments made by the Global Fund Secretariat at the time of grant renewal review. Based on Board Decision GF/B26/DP7 on the Modification of Rules Governing Grant Renewals dated 11 May 2012, a modified ceiling of 90% of the TRP adjusted Phase 2 amount is applied to the Grant Renewals. This also takes into account discrepancies between the CCM Request figures and the Secretariat’s recommendation.
